REDIRECT to Tokuro Fujiwara. I searched through the news search results, and added some references and information to the article, but couldn't find any significant coverage of it. Famous game developer starts his own company, releases two games, shuts down company because they don't make enough money, then starts it up again years later as a consultant company. That's all there is to it. Dream Focus 11:19, 5 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect - not notable, and in terrible shape, but it is a plausible search term. I’d probably prefer the target of Tomba, which probably generally has a higher recognizability factor to the general reader, and less likely to be deleted or merged than the relative poorly sourced/written target proposed above.

Someone might search for it as the guy's current consultant company, so best to have the redirect target to him. Dream Focus 14:10, 6 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]
I don't really get this argument. He wasn't the only employee, was he? Best Wishes, Lee Vilenski ^{(talk • contribs)} 15:00, 6 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I mean, sure, maybe, but I think it much more likely readers recognize the game name than the director. We’re not exactly talking about Steven Spielberg here. He’s not a household name... Sergecross73 msg me 01:36, 7 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]
His article reads IGN listed Fujiwara at number 13 in its "Top 100 Game Creators of All Time" list. He is quite a famous game designer. Dream Focus 07:19, 7 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]
